Pallas (strategies, wisdom, seeing patterns) enters Cancer on May 21st. Cancer’s protectiveness and empathy (towards family and loved ones) mix with Pallas’ wisdom and concern with justice (Pallas is named after Pallas Athena, the warrior goddess of wisdom). Patterns are based on what feels safe and looks comfortable, BUT, this can also be a time when you see a family pattern of abuse or addiction or any negative inheritance. Pallas connects the dots and she can do so creatively (home decorating, home business) or on a deeper level.
Home, family and mother/child issues become the focus for strategies. This is a good transit if you need to dig into the past, tackle a family problem or figure out the best way to cook for/nurture others. Excellent for family counselling. Intuition is heightened – if you’re stuck, pay attention to your gut.
Pallas will exit Cancer for Leo on July 11th, 2018.

Here we are, on the cusp of a new era. Can you feel it? Uranus enters Taurus on May 15th at 11:16 AM EDT.
The last time Uranus changed signs (when it entered Aries) was May 27th, 2010. It will exit Taurus for Gemini on July 7th, 2025. This gives you an idea of how significant Uranus’ ingresses are – these shifts don’t happen every day. Each time Uranus enters a new sign, liberation, disruption and progress occur in a new area. Wherever Taurus falls in your chart is where you’ll be modernized or liberated.
Taurus is stubborn and avoids change. Uranus is change. Taurus is about comfort and physical sensuality. Uranus is detachment and shock. When the two collide, you just know that the comfort zone is going to be updated, like it or not.
When interpreting these transits, I find it helpful to combine keywords. So here’s your cheat sheet (Uranus keywords on the left, Taurus keywords on the right):
These changes may be voluntary or involuntary, but either way there will be a sudden catalyst. It will likely feel uncomfortable, but it will be necessary. Taurus gets stuck into what’s safe, and sometimes that can result in a shutdown and poverty mentality, rather than abundance and growth. Uranus is here to ensure that any stale areas are liberated. If the soil is no longer fertile, this transit will blow it away or push you into new, more fertile territory.
Note that the transiting South Node is in Uranus-ruled Aquarius until November 6th, 2018. The South Node is the past, or what’s ready to be carried forward. Uranus into Taurus says that you can make that leap forward by updating your comfort zone. Liberate yourself from old definitions of money, security, beauty or comfort. Find a new source of income. Let go of what you’ve been clinging to. And don’t worry about guessing where the change will happen – Uranus will show you.
Wondering how Uranus’ transit of Taurus might impact you? I’ve written an eBook about it, based on your house positions (you need to know your birth time so you can figure out which description in the book applies to you).
